From Bo Diddley, Billy F. Gibbons, and Gretsch.
The Billy-Bo is a modern version of the Jupiter Thunderbird designed in 1959 by Bo Diddley himself.
Billy F. Gibbons fell in love with an original given to him by Bo Diddley, but added some of his own mojo to this new version
that he created as his touring axe. The Billy-Bo features a heavily chambered mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck, ultra-thin
laminate maple top, TV Jones Power'Tron (neck) and Power'Tron "Plus" (bridge) pickups, pinned Adjusto-matic™ bridge,
and Schaller Straplocks. It's a dirty, low-down rock guitar with serious credentials and a vibe that hasn't lessened in nearly
50 years.
